Has anyone updated debian recently and can advise on this please? I'm not a debian/ubuntu guru and have no idea how to get emacs from the command line to use the snapshot version. -- Daniel Jacobowitz writes: > On Mon, Jul 24, 2006 at 01:10:14AM -0700, Richard (sent by Nabble.com) wrote: >> >> Has anyone implemented, or know of, facilities to use emacs buffers to >> display watchpoints, locals etc when debugging a C program?
